...Was it really an excellent idea for the English to go to Jamestown? It is strongly believed that the English shouldn't have settled in Jamestown because by doing this, they created massive problems. The English colonists acted selfishly and wanted everything. The result of this was losing men and creating the rivalry. Everything did not go as planned because they lost many men. Some people believe that the English had to go to Jamestown because without going the course of history would have been different. This argument with the English having to go to Jamestown is flawed because by the English going they lost many of their men. In the video "Nightmare in Jamestown," it said, "The English colonist wanted to find gold." By the colonists looking for gold they would get dehydrated and tired because of the heat, so they would drink water from the so river which was contaminated with salt. According to many studies, when your bodies have too much salt it can lead to more dehydration and your kidneys do work as well and since there was not much health care in the 1600's there were not many treatments for this leading to their death. This gave them fewer men to fight with. They did not have mush defense against the Natives....

...of Nightmare Human beings go through a mundane cycle of work, school and extra curricular activities that at the end of the day, they look forward to relaxation and sleeping which is fundamental to their health and well being. The main focus in this research paper is to examine the nature of a certain kind of dreaming in a stage of sleep, also known as a nightmare. Nightmare may professed a state of distress that once awaken a person may suffer despair, anxiety, and great sadness because of the strong emotional reaction. Nightmare is a kind of dream that occurs during the rapid eye movement stage of sleep. Dreaming itself can have wavering natures such as melancholic, adventurous, frightening, exciting, and sexual. Sigmund Freud who is most known for his psychoanalytical theory study about dreams, interpreted that dreaming is a ‘royal road to the unconscious’ or also known as the will-fulfillments (Sigmund Frued). Describing the will-fulfillments as it dreams the defense mechanism is lessened so that some of the subjugated material comes through to awareness without any bias. In other words, dreams implement vital functions for the unconscious mind and operate as a valuable clue to how the unconscious mind works. In retrospect, going in-depth into dreaming brings the subject of nightmare. Experiencing a nightmare can be hostile and disturbing that the dream may enclose situations of threat, distress, and physical or psychological terror. Interestingly, nightmare frequency...

...RESEARCH PAPER - DREAMS About a month ago the two of us brainstormed a few ideas for our first Psychology project. After a weighing the pros and cons of our options, we decided to research dreams and dreaming. We were hoping to learn some information over the vague topic of dreams such as the biology, the causes of dreams, and possibly some of the meanings behind certain dreams. Not only that, but we were interested in the different varieties of dreams people had and why they had them. From the beginning, we had hoped to answer some seemingly basic questions such as “What is a dream?” “What are some different types of dreams people experience?” and “Why would someone experience a certain type of dream?” After many hours and much research, we feel that we were rather successful in answering these and many more questions regarding the topic. So what IS a dream? Well, according to Sigmund Freud, dreams are the, “royal road to the unconscious.” Coming into this project with little to no experience on the topic, it was more than difficult to comprehend why it was that important. “They’re only dreams,” we would say, but after extensive research and reading, it is much easier to follow where Freud was coming from. You see, dreams are not simple; you have to admire the intricacy of a dream interweaving thoughts, ideas, and experiences a person has had in his/her lifetime. The process of dreaming itself connects different parts of the mind that may not be able to find each other...

This paper will examine what a dream is and what people interpret a dream to mean. It should also give you a broader perspective of dreams, go into detail of different theories regarding dreams and give you more insight of such a fascinating but complicated topic. There is also the case of nightmares which will be discussed briefly and why they occur when we dream. What are dreams and what do they mean There have numerous studies on what is a dream. A lot of controversy has happened because of this. Some people say it could be just simply random firing of memory neurons as stated earlier but not everyone thinks the same way. Others say there is a lot of detail that could go into finding out more about this topic so they begin to do more research to come up with different ideas about such a debating issue to study. To simply put it, dreams are successions of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. This paper will examine all the different ideas and theories from researchers that should give us a better insight about dreams. It will also go into minor details about nightmares.

...Cell-16 James spent hours lying on the bed, trying not to fall asleep. He looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was already 1:47am. Five more hours, James calculated. Five more hours till its morning, and he could finally be safe. He could finally sleep. Everything would be fine in the morning…right? It all started three weeks ago, when James and his friend Gregg went ghost hunting to the Old Melbourne Gaol. They’d heard lots of ghost stories about that place. That was the place where hundreds of people were mercilessly hanged. James and Gregg were sure that they could actually witness something paranormal in a place like that. They even bought all of the ghost hunting equipment that they could manage to pay for, after working multiple part time jobs. Of course, they hadn’t expected the consequences of their ‘little adventure’ to be this dreadful. James rolled over and took a look at the alarm clock once again. It was 2:16 am now. 2:16… 16… He recalled the last cell that he and Gregg had investigated that day…Cell number 16… Both James and Gregg had got an eerie feeling when they’d entered that cell. James quickly readied his EVP recorder, while Gregg filmed the cell. Nothing happened at first. But after spending about half an hour in that cell, strange things started happening. All of a sudden, the flashlight that James was holding started flickering violently. The flashlight then turned off, leaving them both in darkness. This startled and alarmed the both...

...Research Paper When you look at the different states, the majority of them have the same laws for age of consent, but a few of them are different. The purpose of me researching this is because I have family members that is a Defendant of statutory rape, but in reality he is the victim. I believe he is the victim because he is the one having to sit in prison and waste his life away because of the laws in Washington State, while the Victim is out living her life and not being affected at all. The legal definition of statutory rape is: “Statutory rape generally refers to sex with a person who is under an age specified by statute. At this point, most state laws call it something else.” This particular case was reported on the twentieth day of the second month in the year of 2008. He was sentenced on the seventeenth day of the third month in the year of 2008, almost a month after sitting in the county jail. He was charged with Rape of a Child Second Degree, in Washington state this means, “A person is guilty of rape of a child in the second degree when the person has sexual intercourse with another who is at least twelve years old but less than fourteen years old and not married to the perpetrator and the perpetrator is at least thirty-six months older than the victim.” If you look at both sides of the case (Victim vs. Defendant) you might ask your self, “How does this case affect both the victim and their (in this case a girl) family, and the defendant and their (in this case...

...Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in soldier Abstract This paper will be discussing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in soldiers. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PSTD), classified as an anxiety disorder, has become increasingly important because of wars overseas, natural disasters, and domestic violence. Typically the individual with PTSD persistently avoids all thoughts, emotions and discussion of the stressor event and may experience amnesia for it. However, the event is commonly relived by the individual through intrusive, recurrent recollections, flashbacks and nightmares. The characteristic symptoms are considered acute if lasting less than three months, chronic if persisting three months or more, and with delayed onset if the symptoms first occur after six months or some years later. PTSD is distinct from the briefer acute stress disorder, and can cause clinical impairment in significant areas of functioning. We will be discussing how PTSD affects the soldiers coming from war, their behaviors, and interaction with society and suicide incidence. Keywords: PTSD, anxiety disorder, soldiers. Post Traumatic Stress disorder in soldier As of today a great number of soldiers that have returned from the Iraq war are suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The most current military combats in Iraq, which have involved the ground combats as well as air battle embarked by the United States since the war in Vietnam almost 50 years ago, bring up very essential...

...treatment therapy and medication, this article will focus on using forms of meditation like Transcendental Meditation (TM) or yoga to help veterans suffering through PTSD. Veterans with PTSD There are many forms of treatment, the most common being a combination of therapy and medication. However as in all treatments in psychology, not all people respond well and others don’t find it effective. This causes many veterans to stop seeking treatment altogether.

Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety and uncontrollable thoughts and emotions (Parker, 2014.) These symptoms my often cause nightmares, flashbacks and severe...
